The popular Google Chrome browser has slowly gained its place in the browser market as light, fast, and frankly, heavily advertised browser specially suited to handle modern (and future) web applications.

Recently, we've been able to play with some fun extensions for Chrome by using the developer builds of Chromium and running the browser with a special launch tagline.  Greasemonkey, an extension to use custom user scripts with specific webpages has been one of the most popular.

Mashable.com is showing some leaked photos of the extensions we'll expect to see (in a more user-friendly organizational model) in the pending release of Chrome.  It appears Google may release their own branded extensions to work with their slew of web apps, especially Gmail and possibly docs and calendars.
